Two Prompts, Three Thoughts

Okay, is this some colossal joke? Is it not enough that avid gun seekers already have the capability to destroy the US alone with what they have in their own cabinets? Are these members of congress just trying to placate the mentally mad individuals and groups by saying they’ll look into it, vying for votes? Yes, I fear these groups, this inept congress. This is not what our forefathers meant.

Only 100 Words #130 and Putting My Feet in the Dirt 26

She tried every color of paint, trying to keep her daughter occupied. “Mommy, I just feel it!”

“Feel what, silly?”

“I feel it in my tummy, lemony pie”. Mary knew lemon tarts shaped like hearts were her daughter’s favorite, even preferred meringue to whipped cream for topping.

“Well, I guess we could make some. They’re your daddy’s favorite too.” Mary finished cleaning up and storing the messy paints thinking she would indulge her daughter. Of course, pleasing her family caused Mary ultimate pleasure. “Can you help me squeeze out the lemon juice,” knowing well it was her daughter’s favorite contribution.

Ragtag: Salvage and Daily Addictions: Responsible

It was getting late. Late in the day, late in his years, and definitely late in the game.

Every muscle ached from tension. How could he possibly salvage anything from today’s events? It was another in a recent past of disappointments. Recent past. . .a year’s worth of them stacked high like rotted trash. All efforts resulted in the utter helpless feeling he felt this evening.

Sipping coffee, trying to organize what he should do next, scanning options over and over. The very idea of options almost made him laugh. He was responsible for these results. Opportunities were gone, along with hope. He held his head in his hands, brushing his hair back when his wife came behind him and hugged his shoulders.

“We’ll make do”, she offered, “we have so far. Try not to be so discouraged, things have to change soon. The pendulum always swings back. . .doesn’t it?”

Frank looked up at his wife’s face, seeing the worry she tried to disguise. He felt a tear, but brushed it aside, hoping she wouldn’t notice. The love of his life encouraging him was almost too much. They walked hand in hand to their bedroom and tried to sleep. Frank would rise yet again and look for work tomorrow.

Putting My Feet in the Dirt 25

Wind starts howling, thunder rolls

Lightning streaks through cloudy folds

Tiny bits of ice grow larger

Filling the drainpipe lager

Even rain can’t compete

In a race with almost sleet

It’s perpetual pandemonium

Crushing also hazard conium

But pampas grass yields to the storm

And afterwards retains its form.

Shiver me timbers!

Thunderbirds performed this morning here in Cheyenne right over my location. Luckily the cloud cover dissipated enough so they could perform one last time here. Expansion of the community college will prevent another air show by them.

Then a few minutes ago a huge storm:
